Sean Hannity Radio: Pamela Geller vs Michael Ghouse on Jihad

MuBro rep Michael Goose, acting spokesturd for Hamas-CAIR, Â blathers about the Â “greater” and the “lesser” jihad which no Muslim seems to understand correctly. The reality is that there is nothing in the Koran that substantiates the “inner struggle” crapola. There is a hadith, one that Muslims consider ‘weak’ or ‘forged’, about that “Greater inner jihad” Â (al-jihad al-akbar); the struggle of personal self-improvement against the self’s base desires.

This weak or forged hadith has been flogged to death in the effort to pull the Islamic wool over the eyes and ears of the kafirs who long to be deceived.

In fact, all four schools ofÂ SunniÂ jurisprudence (Fiqh) as well as theÂ Shi’iteÂ tradition make no reference at all to the “greater” jihad, only the lesser.[3]Â So even before we examine the evidence against the validity of this hadith, we know that the concept of the greater jihad is unorthodox and heretical to the majority of the worlds Muslims.

Â Pamela Geller and Michael Ghouse argued about Islam & Jihad on Sean Hannity’s radio show. You can listen to the audio here. The title of this post reflects a phrase used by twice byÂ Ghouse in this debate.Â This debate is in the context of revelation of the fact that John Brennan, nominated to head the CIA, is one of the enemy, a slave of Allah.

Thick accents and rapid speech make this argument hard to follow, but its context and content are extremely important.Â Mike is a liar: he asserted that “there is no offensive warfare in Islam”, that Islam only fights defensively.Â Â Â Pamela exhibits cognitive dissonance: at once demanding that violent imperatives be expunged from the Koran and acknowledging the impossibility of expunging them.

Muslim supremacists are super arrogant, condescendingly assuming us to be so stupid & gullible that their lies will never be fact checked.Â With the exception of Risala, which is only available on the web, the books you should be reading are available at Amazon and other book stores.Â The internetÂ makes some of these texts available to those of us who are not sufficiently affluent to accrue large libraries.

The Muslim appointed to head the CIA claims that Jihad is a “legitimate concept”Â of self-purification & control in Islam.Â Each of the six canonical hadith collections, considered the most authentic by Islamic scholars, has a book of Jihad or expedition.Â I invite you to search each of those books and extract from them the ahadith relating to Jihad an-Nafs.Â What proportion of those books relate to offensive warfare against infidels and what proportion relate to wrestling with one’s ego?Â [Riyad us-salihin, Tirmidhi, al Nisa’i & Ibn Majah are large pdf files that may take some time to load. If you read Riyad & Tirmidhi, you will have most of the bases covered; there is much redundancy..]

Ghouse asserts that Jihad asghar is strictly defensive: he is a liar; I submit proof!Â Â Reliance of the Traveller, cited by Geller in the debate, defines Jihad as war against non-Muslims.Â Here is the full quote, with links added for reference.

(O: Jihad means to war against non-Muslims, and is etymologically derived from the word mujahada signifying warfare to establish the religion. And it is the lesser jihad. As for the greater jihad, it is spiritual warfare against the lower self (nafs), which is why the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) said as he was returning from jihad.

“We have returned from the lesser jihad to the greater jihad.”

The scriptural basis for jihad, prior to scholarly consensus (def: b7) is such Koranic verses as:

and such hadiths as the one related by Bukhari and Muslim that the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) said:

“I have been commanded to fight people until they testify that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, and perform the prayer, and pay zakat. If they say it, they have saved their blood and possessions from me, except for the rights of Islam over them. And their final reckoning is with Allah”;

and the hadith reported by Muslim,

“To go forth in the morning or evening to fight in the path of Allah is better than the whole world and everything in it.”Details concerning jihad are found in the accounts of the military expeditions of the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace), including his own martial forays and those on which he dispatched others. The former consist of the ones he personally attended, some twenty-seven (others say twenty-nine) of them. He fought in eight of them, and killed only one person with his noble hand, Ubayy ibn Khalaf, at the battle of Uhud. On the latter expeditions he sent others to fight, himself remaining at Medina, and these were forty-seven in number.)

Islamic law describes the obligation to wage war against passive infidels as communal: fard al kifaya, which lapses with respect to individuals once a sufficient number have responded.Â Other obligations, such as Saum & Zakat, are fard Ayn: individually binding.Â Jihad only becomes fard Ayn when Dar ul-Islam is invaded or threatened.Â I refer doubters, dissenters & deniers to Reliance O9.1.Â The obligation to attack passive infidels is described as binding upon Muslims in every year.Â Â Â Subsequent sections of Chapter 9 inform us that “The caliph makes war on Jews, Christians and Zoroastrians” and “fights all other peoples until they become Muslims. ” I disrespectfully direct doubters, dissenters & deniers: damned fools one and all, to O9.8 & 9.9 for a critical lesson in objective factual reality.

The handbook of Hanifi Fiqh makes it plain with slightly archaic language: war must be carried out continuously, and it is undertaken on Islamic initiative, not in reaction to provocation.Â I disrespectfully direct doubters, dissenters & deniers, damned fools one and all, to Hedaya, Volume II, Book IX, Chapter 1, pg. 140 & 141 to obtain a clue.

Â Â Â The destruction of the swordÂ is incurred by infidels, although they be not the first aggressors, as appears from various passages in theÂ sacred writings which are generally received this effect.

Marginal Note

Infidels may be attacked without provocation.

The Sealed Nectar is described As the official biography of the Profit.Â I now present to you a portion of its Table of Contents.Â Note the frequent occurrence of terms such as battle and invasion.Â Islam is so peaceful!Â The violence started while the Profit was alive, in his last decade though Ghouse would have you believe that it is bida, inserted long after his death.Â Note the extortion letters dictated and dispatched to neighboring Kingdoms prior to several invasions.[Emphasis added.] [Source: http://www.sunnipath.com/library/Books/B0033P0000.aspx ]

We have foolishly allowed an enemy fifth column to invade our territory and infiltrate our government.Â It is essentially necessary to expel and exclude Muslims from America and Western Civilization.Â We must first strip off the false mantle of religion, exposing Islam as a mercenary & martial predator preying on the human race.Â Once exposed and defrocked, Islam can be removed from the penumbra of protection offered by the First Amendment’s Free Exercise Clause, its institutions closed and Allah’s slaves expelled & excluded.Â Â Â Please do your part by sharing this blog post with as many people as you can hope to influence. Take the second step by signing the International Qur’an Petition, emailing it to your Representative & Senators.

The “Now I return to the greater jihad” myth is based on a wry joke Muhammad cracked to his troops as he returned from an easy month or two at war with the infidels, as he contemplated having to deal with his bickering wives.
